I am responsible for developing and maintaining both internal and external web applications. My work has included adding functionality to legacy code, adding new functionality (such as geospatial features) to existing applications, to developing entire new applications. I work with users to define their requirements for both novel applications as well as updates, and then work to implement these changes.

I worked on a project to develop a large, extremely dynamic data-driven application. My responsibility was to create an application to manage the metadata for this system, which involved C#, WPF and XSLT development as well as database design. I also took a leadership role, guiding junior developers to develop portions of this application. I also developed reusable components which were employed by myself and by other developers on the team.

For my work on this project, I won a line award for technical excellence.

People often think of evolution as though natural selection were sitting around waiting for new mutations to promote or cull. But it’s not really like that. A great deal of variation exists in any population, much of which has little or no effect on the survival or reproductive success of individuals carrying that variation. However, a changing environment can alter all that.

It’s difficult to protect large marine areas from fishing – a great deal of resources must be put into patrolling and enforcing such an area. However, new research suggests that small but well-targeted protection zones can have a significant effect all the way up the food chain.
